Hi im new to the forum, and im been using puppy in my machine a laptop who has the CPU CeleronM, I did a manual hard drive partition and installed Legacy 4 in this machine, but I have some questions regarding RAM, as you can see i have firefox running and my ram spikes to high and never come down to a low level again, if i open more programs more RAM is beign used slowing the machine to the point of crash, CPU temp goes to high 52-55 C, how can i make the ram goes back to a level low without crashing o reboothing or shutting down the machine.

Hi CeleronM
You did not mentioned Ur PC Specifications in detail, anyhow fire Fox is usually resource hunger on old PCs. U may try some of lighter web browsers like QT Web.

Can someone tell me how to keep my toolbar on top all the times and also how to keep the karamba thing too the far right...its like not in the middle of the screen but to the right but not far enough...I want it on the right edge at all times.....how do you do it? I can't figure it out.

One more thing....how can I replace Opera with FF in Karamba? Opera is out of date and I'm not sure how to update it.

Hello Indy452,
To change the position of the Karamba sidebar, right mouse click over the sidebar and select "Edit Configuration" the editor will open.
Now here's the fun bit Legacy OS 4 is setup with the default screen resolution of 1024x768 now lets say yours was 1388x768 you would need to subtracted 180 from the 1388 figure which would equal 1208.
I have attached a screenshot to highlight the line to change to 1208 in this example. Remember to click save! Now right mouse click over the Karamba sidebar and select "Reload Configuration" and the sidebar should now be in the right position.

Now to change Firefox while you have the editor open scroll down to the lines shown in the Firefox screenshot and chance Opera to Firefox as shown in the example and Save
Again right mouse click over the Karamba sidebar and select "Reload Configuration". You should now have a Firefox icon and Firefox should start.

Mount the ISO (just clicking on it will do)
Click on pup_421.sfs ... but ...
If you are using a 4 series based pup (4.00 to 4.21 or retro 4.3, 4.31) you will be able to mount the sfs as they can read the same squashfile version (3.1).
If you are using a newer pup, you may get a dialogue box suggesting converting it to a compatible version. Do this, as you are extracting the contents anyway and won't need the sfs once you've had your evil way with it.
Once you see the contents of the sfs, copy everything to a partition with enough space - roughly 3 gig I think.

Also copy vmlinuz from the ISO to the same partition - you don't need initrd.gz.
I use Grub4Dos to boot, and the menu.lst entry I have is:

Code:

title Legacy 04
root (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz root=/dev/sda1

Hope this helps.

Thanks, I might try this later. I'm posting from Legacy now and it's running well even on my 11 year old system. A full install would presumably work even better.

Hi John,
I am using Saluki, is there a chance to use your pets therein? Specifically Kolourpaint! How did you overcome all the troubling dependencies of using KDE apps? Great Job! I need to do so about Okular as well, a pdf and djvu annotating tool.
Thanks in advance

Hello owari,
The great thing about KDE is once you install the main core (20-40Mb's) adding kde apps doesn't add much more. If I remember kolourpaint was only around 2mb's. The killer is all it's reliance on that KDE core. I don't make pets sorry! I just bring together a great number of apps and package it together and release the finished ISO.

Because Legacy OS is based on the old KDE3 it still uses KPDF which is an old version of Okular which is used in KDE4._________________Legacy OS 2017 has been released.

Did you type in a terminal ( without the quotes ): "fixmenus"? If so, and then restarted "Xorg" ( your desktop ) try looking under the "Applications" button to the lower left and then perhaps "Documents" to see if it loaded there.

If OpenOffice didn't load up? Then open your file manager ( ROX-Filer ) and press the "up arrow" as this will take you to the top root directory ( "/" ). There open the "tmp" folder and look for "xerrs.log". I believe just clicking upon that will open it in a simple text viewer where you can see why the OpenOffice.sfs isn't loading.

I hope this has helped in some small way? At least until someone with more knowledge comes along and can help you?
